Toothless Tinker

And Miss Ayvri has joined the toothless brigade. I was surprised when she told me she had a loose tooth and even more surprised when I took a look and saw the tooth behind it already broken through the skin. Poor little thing has the tiniest mouth ever and will surely have a good chance of winning "Petersen's most crooked teeth". She was so excited to loose it and immediately decided she wanted to play the tooth fairy game.

She has grown TOO too too much in the last few months and is so excited to start Kindergarten next week. She's starting to look and act like a big girl and I can tell already that this one has more sass than her big sister. Watching her play in the backyard yesterday was quite comical as she marched her way around the yard, hands on hips, shaking fingers and using her bobbing head for emphasis.

This little girl makes us laugh and is great for hugs and kisses. She's our little sweet-n-sour, either the most loving kid on earth or pure venom. Thankfully, her sweet side usually wins the day and when sour appears it doesn't generally last long. She's pretty patient with her little brother and good to play with whoever is around, or alone if the need arises. We love our Stinkerbell.
